This is aquagenic keratoderma or aquagenic wrinkling of hands. It presents has transient whitish papules or plaques over hands on exposure to sweat or water . It resolves in 30-60 mins after drying.
Exact cause is not known but probably due to salt imbalances in sweat. Certain drugs can also cause it.
